Description of the last goal you scored in an 11-a-side game and the year you scored it

About 1984, playing right back. Attacking corner half cleared to me moving forwards, badly controlled, I got to it just before a defender and beat him to the left, then just larupped it from 25 yards with my wrong foot (left) and it went through the crowd of players still up for the corner, beating the unsighted keeper, into the bottom corner.

1993, ball get's won in 50/50 challenge on the wing by our left back who hits a first time cross. Ball just too high for last defender to get head on it, with me just behind him. Hit cushioned volley with the inside of right foot, lobbed the keeper. Get in!!!

Late 2014. I come out of goal for the last ten and play striker. Long ball, other keeper comes out and tries to Neuer it, misses completely, I dribble it to the goal-line, turn around and backheel it in, whereupon full-time is declared. The guy who runs the match admits that he wanted to call full-time before I put it in, and that had he known how I was going to do it, he certainly would have done

At school around 1978, I was standing in the centre circle and the keeper booted it in my direction. I instinctively hit it straight back towards him on the volley with remarkably clean contact. He was helpless as it went over his head and into the goal on the full.
We lost that game 1-0.....

If this is true we can close the thread here

July.
Left wing, aiming for a great mate charging up the middle.
Strongest part of my game is spraying of Waddle-esque passes and crosses (but increasingly waddle-style 'runs'). Confidently deliver what I'm sure will be a pin-point cross for mate to nod home.
Ball somehow gets stuck between my left foot and some kind of baked island on the pitch.
Result; ball swerves madly into top left corner. Couldn't even hope to claim it as intentional.
Apologise slightly more to their gk than to my exasperated mate.

I can tell you plenty I've missed!

Last one I scored was earlier this year from a quick pass inside from the left winger and I made a surging, Lampard-esque run onto it to sweep it into the bottom left with my left foot (I'm right footed) - I was the most surprised person on the pitch!

2007 corner came in and beat everyone, they had no one on the back post. I came through a pack of players to meet the ball smashed it in from so close in my foot followed through and i kicked the post, broken big toe for the privilege, haven't played 11 a side game since.....

1993. Ball came to me on edge of the box my left foot (normally my standing one). Cross/shot with a surprisingly decent contact as i hit it i slipped, bottom half of right leg stayed planted in the ground, top half of leg went with bodily momentum.

Manged to look up from prone position with knee cap somewhere on the wrong side of the leg to see ball bounce off the post and in. 18 months on crutches, telling everyone how my Roberto Carlos-esq finish did for me.

2011 I think. Scuffed a free kick, it took about 4 deflections and then the keeper fumbled it in. Complete fluke.

I've scored a lot better!

Last "domestic" goal - 1996. Old Greenfordians FC - Tight angle, well struck, keeper went down too early and it went in the roof of the net.

Last goal - 2003 - Dynamo Wijndaal (Belgium) v Old Greenfordians FC - Near post header, in-swinging right wing free-kick, got across marker beyond near post, big running leap, beat the keeper who came to punch, glancing header flew into far side netting. 2nd best goal I ever scored (only scored about 20). Put a 6 inch tear in my right hamstring 5 mins later and have never been fit since.

2010 at a guess...Evening pre season friendly. Didn't make KO due to work, was brought on as a sub with about 20mins of second half left. Scored two pretty quickly, third I picked the ball up on the break on our right wing. Just ran diagonally across the pitch beating about four of their men on the way. Ball took a bobble just as I was about to unleash so had to run on further, made it just before their fullback. Instead of letting rip with my weaker left, I lost balance, caught the ball on the up with my toe and watched it loop up into the far corner over the keeper. Ball flight was just like Claus against Arsenal (with none of the composure) but on the other side of the pitch. Ending up falling through their fullback, hamstring went. Came off injured, not played since.

Everyone there thought it was an absolute beauty of a goal, of course I told them I meant it.

I didn't.

Probably about April 1978 for our first team. I had played most of that season in the reserves who already won one cup, finished runners up in the league and I was dropped for the second cup final 'upwards' to the first team, if that makes sense, to make way for a lad who had been on Derby County's books as a youngster.

I went up for a corner, edge of the 18 yard box and as the ball came through a crowded goalmouth I caught it as sweet as a nut and buried it the onion bag. I turned to the Reserve Team Manager on the touchline who had dropped me, saluted him with a victory sign and said not bad for a third team player eh! We went on to win that game and relegate the opposition.

Needless to say the reserves won the second cup final that same afternoon without me so the manager felt his decision was justified but I felt that I had had the last laugh.

2 nil down with a couple for minutes to go in a cup game. We get a pen and score to make it 2-1 with very little time left. From the centre as I standing in the left winger position and ran diagonally across the pitch towards their left back to intersect his back pass to the keeper (time wasting) which I hit first time on my right foot (normally for standing on) into the top corner. I was the only member of our team in their half and the other team then telling the ref that I haven't gone back into my own half after the pen. He had seen my run and allowed the goal. Beat them in the replay, a few weeks later, they were still staying I stayed in their half.
